However, it will be deleted on your next sync. The correct way to do it is to make a directory for the category under /usr/local/portage (<- configurable in /etc/make.conf) and put the files in a directory under there with the name of the package.
e.g. bar-1.02.ebuild should go in /usr/local/portage/foo/bar/ Regards, Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
